Unable to build for Android with both QMake and CMake

David Demelier

Hello

I'm trying to build an application for Android using Qt 5.10, I've followed the articles on:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-support.html
http://wiki.qt.io/Android

Builts were fine and installed, I've used the following invocations:

(for amd64)

~/qt/configure -xplatform android-g++ --disable-rpath -nomake tests -nomake examples -android-ndk ~/.local/share/ndk-bundle -android-sdk ~/.local/share -android-ndk-host linux-x86_64 -android-toolchain-version 4.9 -skip qttranslations -skip qtserialport -no-warnings-are-errors -prefix ~/.local/lib/qt/x86_64 -android-arch x86_64 -android-ndk-platform android-24 -opensource -confirm-license

(for arm)

~/qt/configure -xplatform android-g++ --disable-rpath -nomake tests -nomake examples -android-ndk ~/.local/share/ndk-bundle -android-sdk ~/.local/share -android-ndk-host linux-x86_64 -android-toolchain-version 4.9 -skip qttranslations -skip qtserialport -no-warnings-are-errors -prefix ~/.local/lib/qt/arm -android-arch armeabi-v7a -android-ndk-platform android-24 -opensource -confirm-license

And installed NDK + SDK tools under the following tree:

~/.local/share
- ndk-bundle
- platforms
  - android-24
- system-images
  - android-24
- emulator
- android (the tools extracted here)
- tools (the additional tools)

I've setup the kits like this:

Using CMake, I get the following error:

    "/home/markand/.local/share/ndk-bundle/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++"

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

What do I miss or doing wrong?

Okay, I've just seen in the Building for android page that at most NDK r10 must be used. I recompiled qt with it and targeting android-21 platform. It works with QMake but with CMake I still get the same error though. Quite a step ahead fortunately :)
